SA26 timeline

Hi, was wondering if someone can give some information on recruiting timelines?

Applications open mid-August to mid-September (and later too) and after OA + HV when are the next stages normally starting? I heard Evercore does a very early AC (10/20 September?) but what about JPM, GS etc. Would most ACs/penultimate rounds be in start of October to end of November type of timeline?

Trying to gauge by when I need to be ready for technicals, as I am preparing other stuff too. Thanks!
